Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and toss them in cornstarch. This helps the meat stay juicy during cooking.
Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Stir-fry the chicken strips until golden brown. Set aside to rest.
In the same wok, sauté the thinly sliced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the Sichuan peppercorns and finely chopped chili pepper, if you prefer a spicier flavor.
Add the bell pepper strips and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until crisp-tender.
Pour the soy sauce and brown sugar over the vegetables, and stir well to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the vegetables.
Return the chicken strips to the wok and toss with the vegetables and sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Serve the chicken with steamed rice, garnished with fresh scallions or cilantro.
